a Lecture on London.

Rev. j. J. Hall opened the lecture course
in the First Free Baptist church. The
subject was entitled London and Life
There" and was received by a large audi.
ence with the greatest satisfaction and de-
light. Mr.. Hall said: "Great cities must
ever be the centers of light and dark
ness. London. with its great popu-
latiOn, presents a contrast to be
witnessed 10 where else for there
you find not simply stream but torrent
Of human life, rushing along like mighty
Niagara. And yet nowhere will one feel
so much alone as in London Your indi-
viduality seems lost in the great mass. The
largenesS of London beWilders yCu. 1t is a
kingdom in itself. Let us take a glance at
some of the principal buildings. St.
Pauls cathedral is LOndon's pride.
The building of it took thrty-tive wears.
Here are the remains Of Nelson and Wei
iingtOn, the representatives of England
naval and military power. The whispering
gallery is an interesting feature. The clock
has been heard twenty miles. Westminster
Abbey is the great pilgrim shrine. Here
are the remains of many of Englands
greatest statesmen, poets, warriors. orators
and men of letters. Many are the sugges-
tions and lessons which come to us
as we linger at poets corner. The
houses of parliament, the tower of London,
the bank OF England and other, buildings
were treated upon in their history and
present use. The underground railway.
the docks, London fogs, the parks, Mr.
Spurgeon'S tabernacle and MANY other
scenes OF London life were presented in an
interesting light. Mr.. Hall having lived
there twenty-one years, is thoroughly at
home on the subject. The next lecture is
by DR.. Chase on Cries From the Stones"
next Friday night.

EVIDENCE IN AN OMAHA COURT REFLECTS
UPON CERTAIN MINNEAPOLIS PEOPLE.

Sophia Linstrom. Minneapolis woman, has
made revelation on the witEess stand in q
court in Omaha of a decidedly sensational
character, duplicating man and woman OF
this city with charges of arson. She says she
has been living with a Mrs Barrett in Omaha,
whose daughter and son reside in Mime
apolis. Another son, John Barrett, formerly
a resident Of Minneapolis, was shot and killed
in Omaha last fail. The Linstrom woman says
that Mary and John Barrett rented house in
South Minneapolis, and placed an insurance
of $500 on the furniture. The goods were
surrepttiously removed and the house
burned with all its contents, as was sup
posed. Mary Barrett, the witness went on to
Suy, opened Il hair store, and after securing
heavy insurance, burned it down also. She
(the Barrett wOman) proposed to witness to
open another store conjontly and burn that,
but the latter refused. 1t also appears from
her testimony that the Barrett woman and
her brother now reside in Min ueapolis, where
he is 4 bar tender in a saloon.
The plaintiff denied that any such evil
dence, statements or allegations were ever
made in all Omaha court, or any court by
Sophia LinStrom or any one else. and
claimed that the article was printed for the
purpose of injuring her reputation.
{. The case was given to the jury at
O'Clock and in few minutes a verdict of
S175 for the plaintiff was returned. 1t is
understood the defense will ask for new
trial on the ground Of excessive damages.

AL SORTS.

The Republican county committee is being
congratulated on having raised enough money
to pay off all bills. Treasurer Jamison is
settling accounts as rapidly as they can be
presented.
by order of the legislat ure all of the ballot
boxes of the Thirtieth district have been
taken to st. Paul, and the recount has begun
in the Gross contest case. The election COM
mittee, of which Alex Nliar is chairman is
composed of two Republicans, two Democrats
and one labor party. As each commit it eman
must inspect each ticket and comment on it,
the recount progresses slowly. Thus far the
count has developed no changes.
While S1T5 is not q heavy verdict, it is
pretty heavy, considering. But when per-
son fixes damages at 900 and gets Sl75,
some how or other it looks as though there
were discrepancy. But grin and Barrett.
The following bit of subtle irony from the
Chicago News is commended to the sprghtly
and enterprisng Evening Journal ''It appears
to have just reached the ears of NUN erouS
valued exchanges that John L. Sullivan is to
write Il book. For the further enlightenment
of the eXpectant literary public we will say
that MIR. Sullivan'S book will be an eutobiOg-
raphy, and will contain much pleasant infor-
nation on the subject of the art of pugilism.

Four District judges.

Clerk of Courts Z. j. Davenport has pre-
pared the following statistics, showing the
need of a fourth judge for this district:
During the year 1856 the jury trials lasted
2l9 days, which really means twice that num-
Der, for the reason that two judges were en-
plOy ed all the time. 1t took the Judges $50
Gays to try the court cases. There were ., 2,497
cases heard at the special term. AT the gen.
eral term in April there were $50 cases, Sep
tember term, 1893; December term, 438;
total, 2,l57 cases on the general term calen-
dars for the year. During the same period
there were 456 criminal cases tried, not in
Guiding some 30 indictments not yet made
public There were 3,420 new cases COM
menced during 1856, not including the tax
cases, of which there are a large number In
addition to this the judges have to put in
abOut twelve weeks in the three outside coun-
ties in this district. There has been some
talk about forming these three counties into
q new district, but the lawyers there object
to this strongly, on the ground that it is much
easier tC reach the judges now than it would
be under any other arrangement that could
be made. There will be a meeting of the Hen

o'clock monday morning, to take steps toward

PREPARE TO RE swAMPED.
minneapolis Bills to be Rushed
Upon the legislature.

Upon the Legislature.
The legislature had better rush what
matter it has now in hand and prepare to
devote its time to the mass of legislation
about to be avalanched upon it by the city
of Minneapolis. There is enough of this to
occupy the remainder of the session. 1t
.eQuired most of the time of the.council last
night to merely listen to the bare outlines
of what is desired. The committee on
legislation reported its work in skeleton
form briefly summarized as follows:
These were agreed to without discussion:
To create the office of deputy engineer: to
increase the general levy from to mills:
to reduce the general Improvement fund
levy from - to 2 mills; giving council au-
thority to determine nuisances. outside of
the common law; TO pass a specific apprO-
priatiOn for each city department and make
the levy to cover it. and then have no de-
partment eXpend, each year, in excess of
the appropriation. To create a board of
public works of four men, two Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans, to have
charge of all city work, including
the work of the water board, which
will be abolished. 1t also proposes to COM
bne the word funds in one general fund.
ms provision created quite Stir and
aroused opposition, not so much Oh account
of any provision it contained, as from the
fact that the changes it proposed were so
sweepingly radical. By large affirmative
vote, however. the idea prevailed. The
next recommendation, making it an offense
for any city officer to receive gifts, to vote
for the misappropriation of money. ETC.,
created lively and amusing debate and
finally carried. The revolving plan of assess
ments was agreed to. as was at the idea of
extending the city's northern limits. To
convey the property to the Exposition and
except it from taxation was agreed to. The
remainder of the report was devoted to the
issue of necessary bonds, which have al
ready been printed. There was consider
able running discussion of the merits and
dement's of the suggestions made. but the

pensive and ImpracticabIe.

If the milling magnateS had not already
abandoned all idea of a bridge at Sixth
avenue their last veStige of hope would
have been dissipated by The report of City
Engineer Rinker submitted to council last
night. He reports that not only would
such bridge cost nearly half million dol
lars. but the plans are impractcable, if not
impossible. de does not include in his es-
Inmates the certain damage to pri-
vate property, nor the costs of
suits that may be necessary to
gain a crossing of the several tracks and
bridges. Such br dge would be, without
approaches, 1850 Teet long, and will re-
Quire the lowering of the top Of the Mime
apoliS Mill company's canal four feet.
There is an element of uncertainty and
danger in the necessity for putting in
pier in the center of the river, owing to the
close proximity of the great break of 1871.
The removal of one, and perhaps two, spans
of the Manitoba viaduct may be necessary,
and the substitution of iron trusses
or girders The greatest difficulty would be
in the approaches. as it would be necessary
to lower Washington avenue, from Fifth to
Eighth avenues: Seventh avenue, from
Washington to Third street, and Sixth ave-
nue., from Washington to Third. There
would be damages from the change of grade
and the cost of lowering buildings. The
total cost of the bridge and approaches, if
practicable, would be $500. S45. The engi-
neer does not regard the scheme as feasible,
and the report was filed without a word.
This undoubtedly will put the chimerical
scheme to rest, and it is understood MeSsrs.
